Hello...Hi...Greetings...Yeah...
Has it really been 4 YEARS since I posted anything? Sad to say I never got that one last post out of Mass Effect 3. A shame really...
Anyways, I was fiddling with my settings on my Google Dashboard, when I suddenly remembered that I had a blog. So I did what any sane person would do, and I re-read all my old posts. To use a tired (BUT APT) cliche, the more things change, the more things stay the same. I'm sick, I'm broke, I'm tired, that is life.
So internet, here's an update on the life of Randy in 2016: I got older. I have a full time job (with all applicable benefits and responsibilities that entails), and am currently looking into what it will take to build myself a new home. I have jokingly said that these are the steps I must take to be a real adult. As I have become older, so has my dog who is now roughly 14 years old. He's the oldest puppy I know. He's healthy, but needs to take medications for his heart (dogs are people too), and every day I look at him and see the clock ticking down. I know one day that I will wake up and my little bastard hound will no longer be here with me, which saddens me greatly. But he's had a long and hopefully good life up to this point. But that is a thing for another time. He is still with me, and I will enjoy his company for however long I have the pleasure of being here with him.
Yeah, I know I'm just rambling, but that has always seemed to be the style of this blog. Who knows if I'll ever post again, but I didn't want it to just sort of end, y'know? There are things I regret not doing in my time with this blog, those oh so many years ago. I never wrote that one shitty novel that everyone has inside of them. I never completed Eternal Darkness, or wrote my final thoughts on Mass Effect 3. I never sat down and wrote the "true" story of The Slacker Chronicles; it's failures, it's triumphs. From time to time I revisit these things in my head (maybe not Eternal Darkness, and Mass Effect 3), and see what could have been. I have tales I want to write, and things I want to create. I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT.
And with all that said, time for bed! Until we meet again.
Randy
